Welcome!
Welcome to Soukyoku Hosting, the hosting section of Soukyoku Network, a Bleach portal owned by arashi & Janice. Here is where we provide hosting for websites that are related to Bleach. This is also part of our bigger mission to spread Bleach throughout the web design community. If you have a website on a freeserver or hosted on a domain that is closing down soon, please consider hosting with us! It's free, convenient, and you'll be part of the Bleach family! Please scroll down for more information! Thank you for visiting!
About
What is your hosting package?
Our hosting package will include 10-20mb of free webspace hosted at Soukyoku.net, private ftp account, cgi-bin, MySQL databases, and web/graphic design assistance from 2 experienced designers.
Why are you doing this?
Soukyoku Network was created to promote Bleach, a wonderful shounen manga series by Kubo Taito, online. We combined this series with design as our unique trademark in order to promote the popularity of Bleach. Please visit Soukyoku Network for more information! As for why we are offering free webhosting... That is also part of our mission. Many great Bleach sites pop up now and then and are hosted at freeservers. As avid Bleach fans and web designers, we hate to see great websites go to waste. Thus, we are offering this service to those who love Bleach just as much as we do, enough to create a website about it =)
What kind of website qualifies for hosting?
Any kind of website that is related to Bleach qualifies. This includes, but is not limited to, fansites, character shrines, fanlistings, cliques, adoptions, graphic sites, scanlation sites (doujinshi only please), original fanfiction or fanart, and media/image galleries (provided that your site does not take up too much bandwidth). We give preference to sites with good design (as that is part of our mission) and are on freeservers. This does not mean that if your site is already hosted by another domain or on your own domain that we will not host you. But our priority is getting great Bleach sites off freeservers.
Okay! I'm ready to apply! But how?
It's easy! Just scroll down, read the rules, and fill out the form, THE ENTIRE FORM!
Rules
Please read these rules carefully. Digest them. Follow them.
- Have a website related to Bleach. We will know if your site is not about Bleach so don't try to cheat.
- Your website must already be up. We do not ask that it is complete but at least have a layout and an index page.
- Have decent design. We will be the judge of that.
- No objectional material, that is, nothing racist, sexist, etc.
- Your website must be in English. It can be in other languages as well but it has have an English version.
- You need to move in within a week.

- Do NOT put any large media (bigger than 1mb) without letting us know first. You will get a 10mb quota and more if you need. We just want to keep track of what's eating away at our bandwidth. If you don't tell us and use up all the bandwidth for the month, the entire network (and arashi's 2 other domains) will go down AND YOUR SITE WILL BE DELETED.
